[Major Major]

be aware that since this is a league game and you took the time to mention a litttle bad luck you had, I am going to go through at the end of the turn and figure out what’s off from luck again using our method, just so I can feel better about losing.

[Major Major]

and to get it off my chest, alexandria was a 94% battle with 2.5 units left that failed miserably and i never mentioned not taking java on j3 with 88% which we know is big for several reasons.  I’m getting middle level diced every turn but 1.

[Stalingradski]

No doubt - I don’t argue any of it.

But a 30 IPC swing involving aircraft is significant too, yes? I’m allowed to express myself - but I recognize overall the luck has been on my side.

[Major Major]

right you r

:mrgreen:

only 57 difference so far, not as bad as I thought…

[boldfresh]

what’s your system?

[Stalingradski]

From the game history, I think?

[boldfresh]

what stats are you adding up?  does it do the tally for you or are you manipulating some numbers?

[Major Major]

roughyl battle by battle value of pieces lost or gained due to luck.  We’ve tweaked it a little in our many years of face to face AnA.

[Stalingradski]

Holy crap you went through and did that? You’re the monster I know!  :-D

57 is pretty bad, but certainly the game is early enough that anything can happen, amigo.
